Jake Toomey takes 2nd in 15:50.

The 25% (any fraction .5 or above will be rounded up) will be determined by the number of scoring teams (at least 5 athletes)thatstart the race. Boys and girls teams are considered separately, so 25% of the scoring boys teams to start the race and 25% of the scoring girls teams to start the race will qualify for the State XC Meet.So 26-29 teams = 7 qualifying teams; 22-25 teams = 6 qualifying teams; 18-21 teams = 5 qualifying teams; 17 or fewer teams = 4 qualifying teams.
